MICROS~1 was demo'ing NT in 1991, right before announcing Windoze 3.10.
The "dryrot logo" (which MICROS~1 calls the "flying windows logo" (in
spite of pieces falling off of the left side) was introduced at the
Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in August 1991 (along with
Windoze 3.10). MICROS~1 didn't care that NONE of the developers, from
whom they expected enthusiastic response, liked it.
Might I formally propose that when we get to 2005, we revise the charter
of this list to be 11 years?
and in 2006, 12 years
in 2007, 13 years . . .
acceptable age = current year - 1994
'cause when Windoze 95 becomes on topic, it just might not be fun anymore.
